excellent and easy! Made this at my daughters house, and she didnt have powdered milk, so I subbed some milk for the water. I liked the one without the tomatoes better, and the little bit we had leftover , I toasted for breakfast. thanks for a "keeper" made for Aussie swap, Feb 2012

WOW! I had only 330 g flour on hand a dozen cherry tomatoes and for this reason I scaled down the recipe.
It came out veeeery soft and delicious. We ate this hot with green beans salad. Yummy!
